Since the modern Olympics were revived in 1896, the Olympic Games have grown into a more dazzling exhibition with each successive occurrence. From the Greek victory in the first Olympic marathon to Hicham El Guerrouj's double-victory in 2004, athletes in distance events have gained success in a variety of ways. For the shot put, discus, javelin, long distance running and high jump, athletes have gained glory through combinations of speed, strength and endurance. Any completion of such an event series is impressive. Today Science in the Olympic Games shows how the athletes are becoming faster and going the distance.

由于现代奥运会在1896年复苏,每次的奥运会都成为了炫目的展览。从希腊第一次马拉松胜利再到希查姆埃尔盖鲁伊在2004年的双料冠军,运动员在距离项目中以各种不同的方式摘得桂冠。铅球、铁饼、标枪、长距离跑和跳高，运动员通过速度、力量和耐力获得荣耀。任何一个项目都给我们留下了深刻印象。今天的科学奥运将讲述运动员正变得更快更高更强。
